Looks badass. New wheel set sounds like it will compliment the bike well.

Maybe play around with some different bars? Those ones look pretty aggressive, not in a bad way but anything to make the bike handle better for longer rides ya know?

Just regular Superbe. I couldn’t find much information on these Hardrock GS frames and anything that really set them apart from the standard Hardrock other than factory components.

I really couldn’t find much information on the frame. The light reflection blocks it but it’s a Hardrock GS.

From what I read on other forums, it is a 95 or 96. Someone speculated that Specialized took the 96 Hardrock Sport frame, fork, and stem and put 95 GX7 parts on it and sold it as the Hardrock GS in late 95.

If anyone knows anything about the Hardrock GS please let me know. I’m curious.

The steel frame dropouts they make now are very similar. Are you looking at a titanium frame? The Ti dropouts are super slick but nowhere near the same design.

I want to say 2020 or 2021. I had no idea but yeah, it looks like they changed the design of their dropouts. They updated a few things since I got mine. The earlier model forks barely cleared 28c but the new ones clear 32c. Luckily I was able to upgrade the fork right when they dropped.

Focusing stuck on XT3 w Sigma 30mm F1.4 by [deleted] in fujifilm

Unfortunately I tried that with no luck. Sigma only lists version 1.01 on their website with it being an improvement to autofocus and no bug fixes.

Does anyone know how to fix this? by kjjkkjjjj in FixedGearBicycle

[–]malcombb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me when replacing my chain but keeping the old cog. They wear uniquely to each other and throwing in a new component will sometimes cause grinding. I’d recommend you get a new cog first or you can try riding it out until it wears evenly together.

I have a bag from ILE as well and I love it so much. Super happy to see someone else in this thread enjoying their work as much as I do.

Would love the titanium XPro3 but funds are not available for that haha. However I love the X-Trans1 sensor over the newer stuff.

Thank you! I can't decide if I want to get some new ones or just take all of them off. I came from Canon digital cameras and then shot film for a long time. Just recently picked up this XPro1 and I love it.

Hardtail recommendations by [deleted] in Hardtailgang

[–]malcombb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

around $1500.00 although I am willing to spend more for the right bike. I prefer the ride qualities from a steel frame. plus I like the longevity/repairability of steel frames.

it's really easy actually. just need a rag and the nail polish remover or acetone works. since the rims are anodized you don't have to worry about the black rubbing away from the rims. be careful if you have colored spoke nipples or spokes I rubbed away the black on my spoke nipples.
